LikeSystem

An active record like system developed using ruby on rails 4.1 applying domain driven design and test driven development principles.

This gem is heavily influenced by cmer/socialization.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'like_system'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install like_system

Usage

Run the generator

$ rails g like_system

Let's suppose for a moment that you have a blog application and a User can like a Post or several Post models. The user model becomes the liker and the post model becomes the likee.

Post object

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  act_as_likee

  validates :content, presence: true
end

User object

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  act_as_liker

  validates :username, { presence: true, uniqueness: true }
end

Likee object methods

post.is_likee? # returns true

post.liked_by?(user) # returns true if user likes the post object, false otherwise

post.likers_by(User) # returns a scope of LikeSystem::Like join model that belongs to the post object and belongs to liker objects of type User

Liker object methods

user.is_liker? # returns true

user.like(post) # Creates an instance of LikeSystem::Like join model associating the user object and the post object, returns true if succeded, false otherwise

user.unlike(post) # Destroys an instance of LikeSystem::Like join model that associates the user object and the post object, returns true if succeded, false otherwise

user.toggle_like(post) # Likes / unlikes the post

user.likes?(post) # returns true if the user object likes the post object, false otherwise

user.likees_by(Post) # returns a scope of LikeSystem::Like join model that belongs to the user object and belongs to likee objects of type Post
